Escape

Escape by Calvin Klein is a feminine-leaning eau de parfum from 1991 in the budget price tier. It opens with apple, plum and bergamot, moves into rose, lily of the valley and peach and dries down to sandalwood, white musk and amber. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

Apple Crunchy and tart or soft and red, depending on the treatment.
Plum Dark, wine-like and slightly stewed. Autumnal.
Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.

Heart

Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Lily of the Valley Clean, green, dewy floral. Reads as 'fresh laundry' to most people.
Peach Fuzzy, warm and slightly creamy. Soft rather than sharp.

Dry-down

Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
